Abstract

Zadovoljstvo vezom među glavnim je razlozima ostajanja u ili napuštanja veze, a samim time predstavlja kompleksan konstrukt vrijedan istraživanja. Prema teoriji socijalne razmjene, osobe u svojim romantičnim vezama važu dobitke i gubitke te na temelju njihovih odnosa bivaju zadovoljnije ili manje zadovoljne svojim odnosom. U svojoj mladoj odrasloj dobi pojedinci počinju pokazivati relativno stabilne obrasce ponašanja koji se razvijaju na temelju privrženosti, a koja utječe na percepciju svijeta oko nas, pa tako i na doživljaj i zadovoljstvo romantičnim odnosom. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati ulogu privrženosti te pozitivnih (podrške) i negativnih (nasilja) interakcija s partnerom u objašnjavanju zadovoljstva vezom kod mladih. Pretpostavili smo značajan doprinos nasilja, podrške i dimenzija privrženosti u objašnjavanju zadovoljstva vezom. U online istraživanju je sudjelovalo sveukupno 240 sudionika, od kojih 200 žena i 40 muškaraca, dobnog raspona od 18 do 30 godina. Uzorak su činili oni koji su u vezi i oni koji nisu u vezi. Na dobivenim je rezultatima provedena hijerarhijska regresijska analiza u dva koraka, u kojoj su u prvom koraku uvrštene sociodemografske i druge kontrolne varijable, dok je u drugom koraku ispitan doprinos oblika nasilja (psihičkog, fizičkog i seksualnog), podrške i dimenzija privrženosti (aksiozne i izbjegavajuće) u objašnjavanju zadovoljstva vezom. Rezultati pokazuju značajan pozitivni pojedinačni doprinos percipirane podrške te značajan negativni pojedinačni doprinos anksiozne i izbjegavajuće dimenzije privrženosti i psihičkog nasilja u objašnjavanju zadovoljstva vezom, kao i pojedinačni doprinos varijable statusa veze, dok se fizičko i seksualno nasilje nisu pokazali značajnim prediktorima zadovoljstva. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na važnost ispitivanja odrednica zadovoljstva vezom, a naročito na važnost stjecanja dubljeg uvida u ulogu nasilja i njegovih oblika u samim vezama kako bi se mogle poduzeti mjere na njegovo preveniranje i pravodobno reagiranje, kao i na stjecanje uvida u važnost pružanja i dobivanja podrške u svrhu održavanja romantičnog odnosa na kvalitetnoj i zadovoljavajućoj razini.

Abstract (english)

Relationship satisfaction is one of the reasons for staying in or leaving a relationship, and represents a complex construct for research. According to the social exchange theory, people weigh gains and losses in their relationships and are more or less satisfied with it based on their ratio. In young adulthood, individuals begin to show relatively stable behavior patterns based on attachment, which affects the perception of the world around us and our relationship satisfaction. The aim of this research is to examine the role of attachment, positive and negative interactions with a partner in explaining relationship satisfaction. We hypothesized a significant contribution of violence, support and attachment in explaining relationship satisfaction. A total of 240 participants took part in the online survey (200 women and 40 men), aged 18 to 30. The sample consisted of those who are and those who aren't in a relationship. A two-step hierarchical regression analysis was carried out on the results, in which sociodemographic variables were included in the first step, while in the second step we added violence (psychological, physical and sexual), support and attachment dimensions (axious and avoidant). The results show a significant positive individual contribution of support and a significant negative contribution of anxious and avoidant dimensions of attachment and psychological violence in explaining relationship satisfaction, as well as a contribution of the relationship status, while physical and sexual violence did not prove to be significant. The obtained results indicate the importance of examining the determinants of relationship satisfaction, of gaining a deeper insight into the role of violence in the relationships in order to be able to take measures to prevent it and react on time, as well as to gain insight into the importance of providing and receiving support for the purpose of maintaining a relationship at a high-quality level.
